Up & Down The Amalfi Coast 'n Back To Roma With Anna & Danielle

Wow, the last 3 days are a blur.  Anna, Danny, and I saw so much -- and ate and drank so much -- that it's difficult to get it all down.  We had lots of laughs!

We spent Monday in Amalfi town, which is down at the sea, and in Ravello, which is perched up above.  On Tuesday, our driver took us on a tour of the villages south of Amalfi town.  In addition to my shave-and-a-haircut, we strolled through Minori, Maiori, and Cetara.  Cetara is a fishing village that is known for its excellent food.  At a friend's recommendation, we lunched at Acquapazza -- and it did not disappoint.  Incredible antipasti, mains, and dolci.  It might have been our best meal of the trip.

We headed back to Roma on Wednesday morning, where we spent the day picking up gifts for the Erickson White girls, eating porchetta (pig), trying on glasses, having cocktails with Patrick and Federico at Barnum, and then eating dinner at Il Gocetto, one of Rome's best enotecas (wine bars).

Anna and Danny got on a plane this morning to return to Palo Alto.  The week went by in a flash and I was sad to see them go.

The only way our driver Marco coulda been better is if he'd driven us around in these wheels.  



Campari + Fresh O.J. = Awesome!
